There’s been a lot of words written about modern Scandinavian music, mainly because it’s known to be fresh electronic pop that has its own sound. Those words has not been written in High End audio publications previously since the sound quality hasn’t been anywhere near good enough. They might sound good in a club or in headphones but that’s about it. Improve your listening experience with the Best wireless earbuds of this year.
Little Dragon by Marco Van Rijt
Now, things are changing. If you have a listen to Gothenburg band Little Dragon’s latest album ‘Nabuma Rubberband’ you’ll find amazing sounding music with real high quality. Yukimi Nagano‘s voice sound crystal clear agains the deep electronic tones.
Röyksopp Robyn – Do It Again
Norwegian pop duo Röyksopp and Swedish pop artist Robyn have also recently released an EP called ‘Do It Again‘ together that has a rich, detailed and great sounding electronic production.
So, if you’re in to pop but find it hard to discover music that sounds good on your own system you should give these guys a chance. Also, comment if you have any other suggestions that you think would belong here.
If anyone knows Little Dragon you should tell them to pop in considering they’re in Gothenburg as well:) We have Coltrane Supreme 2 set up now in the big Svanå level 3 listening room and ‘Nabuma Rubberband’ sound absolutely amazing.

The weekend is finally here and we’re for some good music. And some good sounds of course. The Coltrane Supreme 2 system has been playing non stop since yesterday and no one seem to tire of finding new songs to play.
There’s a great HiFi show in Gothenburg – Sweden the weekend of 20-21 September. We will be playing the gigantic Coltrane Supreme 2 in our state-of-the-art listening room together with Jorma Design cables, MSB and Whest electronics, Gigawatt power conditioners and more.
You can meet Angel Despotov from exclusive Analogue Domain, the hottest electronics from Germany. We will of course demo one of their amplifiers, The Artemis.
We will also play our own recording Supreme Sessions 1 on Django XL and Django L in another room.
We open already on Friday 19 September 1pm – 6pm, Saturday 10am – 5pm, Sunday 10am – 5pm. We are located at Chalmersgatan 24, about 200 meters away from one of the show hotels Park Avenue.

We’re having a really great demo this weekend at HembioConsult in Lerum, Sweden. Please come if you have a chance. We will show Django L, Django XL and Heritage Bird 2 together with Hegel and MSB. It will sound good, we promise! 🙂
We were always fascinated by the simplicity of the 2-way speakers, but never encountered such a solid build that so resolutely manages to bring 2-way audio to new heights.
Great review by Mats Meyer-Lie on Django L in Swedish HiFi & Musik. Here is the conclusion in english:
Django L can certainly produce bass, so deep that the room rattles and makes you gasp for breath. Django L is therefore one of the most versatile speakers we have heard in a long time. As comfortable with dubstep or hard rock as with acoustic jazz or frail chamber music.
I constantly found myself moved by the music instead of analysing the sound. Exactly what we all want really. A real magnificent, large scale speaker that everyone totally falls for.
Sure, they cost a pretty penny but it is a unusually victorious and well made creation, except for the german units, entirely Made In Sweden.

It took a while but finally we could find a moment to post this. All of the diffusors were delivered at midnight the night before the show so the room wasn’t ready until just a couple of hours before the show opened! Such a great feeling to do the final touches after so much hard and stressful work.
The Coltrane Supreme 2 really sound absolutely fantastic.
All together with the rest of the coolest stuff:
Starting off with:
This is what came so late but it was worth the wait. SMT‘s amazing diffusor/reflection ceiling.
Jorma Design Statement – brand new cables
Pass Labs Mono Power Amps: XS300
Pass Labs XS pre amps
Whest Audio Phonostage Ref 5 MK4
Bergmann Audio Sleipner turntable with Ortofon Mc Anna cartridge.
MSB Diamond Dac and UMT Plus
As all of us main exhibitors (Marten. Jorma Design and SMT) are Swedish we gave the entrance a slight Swedish feel with birch trunks.
Dan Meinwald doing his thing
We’ll be back tomorrow, cheers!
Django L. It is rather impressing that you can get so much music for the money. What are you waiting for? Get out there and listen!
